Easel Holiday Card

'Tis the season for making fun gifts, and I made a good assortment of them this year. Here is a jar of spice tea mix I dressed up using plaid ribbon, and a tea-dyed tag. I made a card using a left-over image from my critter treat packages, using October Afternoon papers.

Instead of making a standard card, I decided to make an easel card. The card is the standard A2 size, and has a cardstock fashioned easel on the back to support it for display. For mailing, the easel slides out of the bottom "pocket", and folds flat against the back of the card. So easy, and so fun!

Ill show in more detail when I get home and can do photos, etc. but basically, the top half-inch end of the 2 wide easel strip piece is glued to the backside of the card front. The strip is scored in two more locations, folded, and the bottom half-inch end of the 2 wide easel piece is just tucked up into the little belt loop looking piece thats at the bottom of the card. There isnt any glue holding it in place. The belt loop looking piece is only adhered to the base of the card at the sides, so the easel end can tuck up into the belt loop in the center. I hope this makes sense... hahaha!!

I'm with Janine. Couldn't figure it out from "For mailing, the easel slides out of the bottom "pocket", and folds flat against the back of the card." Have fun up in God's Country. Say hello to the mountains and snow for me. We'll be using the AC today. sigh
